SOME SOUTHERN newspapers seem to
think the existing rule in the Postotice
Department, by which no cx-Confederate
can be promoted in that department, Is
relic of war and reconstruction times, and
that Mr.. Villas, finding it there when he
took charge, has not deemed its abolition
advisable. But the papers referred to are
in error. No such rule was in operation IN
the department when Mr.. Villas was ap-
pointed Postmaster General. Mr.. Villas is
its author, and Mr.. Villas is the so-called
democratic Postmaster General under So
called national democratic administration.
